Macquarie Anglican http://www.macquarieanglican.org Diverse communities gathering growing and delighting in Christ Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:24:40 +0000 en hourly 1 True Worship http://www.macquarieanglican.org/true-worship/ http://www.macquarieanglican.org/true-worship/#comments Tue, 10 Jan 2012 05:26:30 +0000 Tim http://www.macquarieanglican.org/?p=3354 Have you ever wondered what it looks like to truly worship God? For instance, can you worship God by yourself? Do you have to have a ‘spiritual experience’ to worship God? Is it possible to worship God selfishly ? Is worship all about me, someone else or God ? And what’s love got to do with it?

When the Corinthians gathered to eat and pray, love was missing. And despite their enthusiasm for spiritual experiences God was also strangely missing.

What does true worship look like? 1 Corinthians 11-16 give us some surprising answers.

Be at church on Sundays from 22 January to be challenged to worship God in spirit and truth.

You cannot but be impressed with the zeal of the modern sceptic and reciprocally unimpressed with the lethargy of the contemporary Christian.

Right on track the Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Weekend (3rd December, 2011) has a lengthy and well-researched article, ‘Divine Intervention’ (Fenella Souter) in which she debunks the historical basis for the first Christmas.

Her two main arguments are that there are only two gospel accounts and that they are contradictory, with the addition of many fictional details. Read more here.
